Which Way, L.A.?
Stolen Art
Broadcast live from the Getty Center in Brentwood. - Descendants of Holocaust victims the world over are suing for the return of art stolen by the Nazis and later sold abroad to museums, galleries and private collectors. The famed Elgin Marbles of Greece remain in the British Museum; Iraq is desperately trying to slow modern day theft of ancient treasures; while pre-Columbian and Native American art continue to be hot and hard to trace. Who has the right to art of disputed ownership? Does the passage of time dim ownership claims? And if art is returned, what precedent does that set?
